Summary
“Oh, that’s right I remember, six years ago, I got you to admit that you liked somebody. Do you… like someone now?” Kaveh asked cautiously.
“Yeah,” Alhaitham answered nonchalantly.
“Who?”
“The same one as last time.”
“You still like them? After six years?” Kaveh’s eyes widened in shock.
“I’ve only ever loved one person, and I’ve only ever wanted to be with one person,” Alhaitham shrugged, beginning to walk away but Kaveh grabbed his wrist, holding him in place.
“But, six years? For that long, do they not know you exist or something?”
“They know.”
“Have you tried courting them at all?”
“Sorta. It didn’t work out.”
“Then…do they just not like you back?” Kaveh asked.
“I’ve only ever wanted them. If they don’t want me then, I’ll accept it but I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving them.”
“That’s… the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life,” Kaveh confessed.
In which Alhaitham meets Kaveh and spends the next 6 years pining for him.

Summary
“Please don’t slam the books.” A stern voice cuts through the stillness.
Phainon jumps in fright, clutching at his chest to will his heartbeat to slow as he turns to face the person who interrupted his brooding. As soon as he takes in what’s before him, he forgets how to think.
A man stands across from him, arms folded neatly across his chest, watching him behind a pair of simple black frames that suggest he’s already written Phainon off as a lost cause. He’s sharp and poised, biceps bulging even beneath his loose-fitting jumper, and the worn edges of the neckline leave a sliver of his clavicle on display that Phainon can’t seem to look away from.

Summary
"Forgive me if I'm being presumptuous, Lord Phainon," Castorice says, all too politely. "But could you not just message him?"
In the wake of Mydei’s departure from Okhema, Phainon pines, has dreams, gets psychoanalyzed by Hyacine, and loses a duel to his Titan-possessed ex-professor—not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“Well,” is what Aglaea says at last. “This is certainly… a predicament.”
Her voice is as unreadable as ever, so it could mean anything from this is manageable to this is a disaster the likes of which the Flame-Chase Journey will never recover from. As things stand, Mydei is more inclined to believe the latter.
Beside them, Tribbie finally pops up from where she’s been studying their joined hands. “What Snowy said is true!” she proclaims in a voice far too cheerful for their current situation. “He and De are one hundred percent stuck to each other.”
While out on patrol, Mydei and Phainon get hit with a curse that binds their hands together.

Summary
“Sooo…” Tribbie begins, soundly smacking her lips.
“What a situation,” Aglaea laments.
“I wonder who will help him,” is Trinnon’s two cents.
“Now’s your cue, De,” Trianne whispers at him from in between her tiny hands, like it wasn't damn obvious his fate was sealed the moment they all looked at him.
“Splendid idea. Leave it to the homicidal maniac to be his caretaker; what could possibly go wrong?”
Alternatively: A cursed Phainon can't speak, see or hear. Mydei is tasked with taking care of him until everything's sorted out.
